This is a good suggestion. I had a similar issue. Intermittent issue that seemed like it was a weak battery. It turned out the starter wouldnt turn with a battery connected directly to the starter itself. There was a loose connecting wire inside the starter motor that solved the issue

update on my side... I think my initial problem was related to the air leak on the feeder line inside the fuel tank... not sure tbh Then the second problem was unrelated. It turned out that when I reinstalled the Injection Pump we didnt torque the main bolt properly, and it came loose in the...

As per @roscoFJ73 I would start with the simple things first... I had a few air leak issues actually. The main hidden one was a leak on the fuel tank pickup~ that it was sucking air from a hole in the pickup inside the fuel tank! I dropped the tank and got this welded closed But I ended up...

Awesome! Thanks so much... I will play with this when I get a chance. I am going to see if I can get some e-clip washers that will allow me slot them on without removing the arm and risking the pin falling into the transfer case, but will certainly follow your instructions if that does not work...

thank you sir! I will check your fix out there!

ah excellent... I will try the zip tie as a temporary solution, as I am having the exact same issue! I ended up stripping the whole HL and the 2-4 shifting mechanisms on the side of a river in the middle of rural Transkei in South Africa. I discovered I could shift the lever upwards by hand to...

Hi @Ernboto - what was your final resolution... I have been having the exact same issue. I ended up stripping the whole HL and the 2-4 shifting mechanisms on the side of a river in the middle of rural Transkei in South Africa. I discovered I could shift the lever upwards by hand to engage the...

I am in Durban... Would be happy to be pointed to a supplier your side in the Cape who I can call ! I am having an issue with the feeder on the current tank, and am looking at replacing more likely.

I know this is a longshot, but a fair few South Africans on here. Looking for South African supplier of a long range diesel fuel tank for 60 series. I have a 1987 FJ62 with a 4.2d swapped engine. I have always planned to get a long range tank for it. Does anyone know a supplier who does...

Hi Guys... I had a fuel issue on my cruiser... I had just completed a 4000km road trip... and then another 1100km road trip on the vehicle with no issues when 7 days later it was struggling to start, and eventually would start only after hand priming or push starting on a hill. This proceeded...

Thanks had to do this last night. I am on a road trip and locked all my stuff in the cruiser accidentally. I found a 10mm spanner and undid the 3 bolts in the latch on top half of the tailgate. You can see in to the latch from below and a small spanner fits in fine. When those bolts are removed...

One thing that was not on the prior list was anything about the transfer case... outside of checking the oil levels The pictures from the last posts and installing the roof rack was meant to be the start of my first long trip with Nelly (again), but rather resulted in a transfer case rebuild...

thats cool... personally I put in an ugly orange dot light. Does the job but I like your solution better
